Warning
Take care when installing or removing a specimen, assembly or
structure.
Installation or removal of a specimen, assembly or structure involves working inside the
hazard area between the grips or fixtures. Keep clear of clamping devices and pinch
points at all times. Keep clear of the hazard area between the grips or fixtures during
crosshead or pendulum movement.
Keep clear of the operating envelope of a robotic device unless the
device is de-activated.
The robot in an automated testing system presents a hazard because its movements are
hard to predict. The robot can go instantly from a waiting state to high speed operation in
several axes of motion. During system operation, keep away from the operating envelope
of the robot. De-activate the robot before entering the envelope for any purpose, such as
reloading the specimen magazine.
